3 Goodgym strong women ran to United Reformed Church to unload screenboards from Van then into the hall. Fortunately there were other Strong Men Volunteers too to help out with the heavy double sided Screenboards. They have been assembled together to display the artworks of young Artists. Ken Marshall, the organizer really appreciate what Goodgym runners do for them. He gave us leaflets too and present us some artworks done by 13 and 14 year old young artists. Hopefully there will be a few more Goodgym runners on Monday, next week when we take the screenboards back into the van.

Fantastic to welcome a new runner tonight, please give it up for...

Phoebe

Give Phoebe a whoop, hola and cheer!

We headed over to Pistmoor Road this evening to meet with MARVELOUS MALCOLM who had already been on site for a while getting the worst of the litter onto the pavement for us to swoop in and take the 'glory picks'.

There were some true treats in store with some very old rubbish which was fast becoming part of the geology of the area, had we not have got in there!

A decent pile was presented at the end for the council to later come and pick up.

Until next time, happy running! :)

Something a tad different this week...

On a stormy looking Bank Holiday Monday we headed up hill to the SUSTRANS lock up to help Simon with sorting the SUSTRANS tools to make it easier for Sustrans volunteers to get into the lock up, find what they need and get out to do the fantastic work that they do all over the city helping to look after the active travel routes all over Sheffield.

After some discussion and tool placement trying we settled on some designs for how we would recycle/upcycle bookshelves and pallets to store and organise the various different tools that are in the lock up.

By the end of our time at the lock up it was already looking loads better and more organised and we think with one more session there, we should have a really useful and well organised lock up for the volunteers to use.

Until next time, happy running! :)

Friends of Whirlowbrook Park put on lots of fun family activities today for the Easter weekend. There was archery, face painting, a book sale and the main attraction, the Easter Egg trail!

Families followed the bunny hop footprints around the park to find eggs with letters on, then rearranged the scrambled egg letters into a seasonal punchline, which they then exchanged for choccy eggs:

What do you get if you pour boiling water down a rabbit hole?

Our volunteer role was marshaling the car park, directing visitors to free spaces and also controlling traffic where the trail crossed the road.
